Knowledge for Everyday Life.

To add a column of figures rapidly and accurately, to make no mistakes in simple sums of addition, subtraction, multiplica- tion and division, the kind of arithmetical knowledge needed in everyday life, is, as President Walker has shown in his recent admirable talk to the school committee of Boston, of far more value to the vast ma 1ority of school children than can possibly be a knowledge of the intricacies of frac- tions, or facility in the gymnastics of the puzzle problems of the text books, with out such ready accuracy in everyday sums. This statement by President Walker well illustrates the rational de- mand for more practical education in the public schools, though there is 8 de- n.and for so called practical" education which is decidedly irrational.-Col. I. Ed wards Clarke in American Magazine.

Mutuals, IL; Quickseps, 2.

The game of base ball played the after
noon of the Fourth, between the Milwau-
kee Quicksteps and the WATERFOWL Mu-
tuals, on the North western University
grounds, was good one, although rather
too one-sided to be thoroughly interesting.
The Mutuals played a remarkably fine
game, the, battery work of Diekoff as
pitcher, and Aman as catcher, being es-
pecially noteworthy, in fact, here is where
the chief point of excellence was shown
by the Mutuals over their opponents, and
this can be said without any disparage-
ment to the other Mutual players, as all
did we'll in their respective positions. The
Quicksteps were whitewashed for eight
consecutive innings, not scoring until the
ninth inning when they got in two runs.
The Mutuals scored in every inning but
the sixth, when they retired with their
first and only whitewash. The features
of the Quicksteps playing were some ex-
eellent catches made in the field. The
best of order prevailed throughout the
game and no. a single ''kick" was manifest
ed, much to the credit of both clubs, and a
feature that mace it very pleasant and
entertaing 10 the spectators. James
Laherty, of Milwaukee, umpired the
game to the satisfaction of both sides, be.
ing fair and impartial in his decisions
The Quicksteps acted gentlemanly all
through and speak we'll of the courteous
treatment they received from their op
ponents, leaving with the most favorable
impression of Watertown and her base
ball team. The game was interrupted BY
rain twice, but the crowd having the col
legefturn hall to shelter in, no inconveni-
ence was experienced by the showers.
The following is list of the Mutual
and their positions in the game: Chris
Jensen, third base; Diekoff, pitcher; G
Aman, catcher; Berg, right field; Bau
man, second base; Steinberg, first base
M. Smith, center field; F. Smith, left field
F. Aman, short stop.

Editor Republican:-Have we any
city government? This question was
asked more than once on Sunday evening
last. The noise along Main street was
simply disgraceful. In the vicinity of
the M. E. church it reached its height.
Was that spot specially selected on }pur-
pose to give annoyance to the three con-
gregations which were at the time hold
ing a union service? 1t would almost
seem so. A constant fusillade Of fireworks
was kept up, accompanied by shouting
and beating upon tin pans. The deafen-
ing din drowned the voice of the speaker,
while the frequent shooting, which was
thrown in by way of variety, was the oc
casion of continual fright We venture
10 assert that nowhere in this broad land,
not even at Five Points, New York, was
there a congregation of worshipers sub
jected to such outrageous disturbance.
What makes the matter worse, is that we
understand the marshal was notified that
there might be some annoyance, but
either he was invisible or he did not feel
disposed to use his authority in enforc-
ing the law.

The numerous friends here of Adella
Paulina, wife of Rev. W. H. Hendrick-
son, pastor of the Twelfth Presbyterian
church, Indian apolis, Ind, and youngest
daughter of our former townsmar, O. K.
Coe, will be grieved to learn of her death,
which occurred at her home at Indiana

in the 35th year of her age.
Deceased was born at Beaver Dam,
March "a, 1853, and removed to this city
with her parents some five years later.
May %, 1872, she was married to DR.. T.
G. Williams, of this city, happy union
that continued only about four years,
when broken by his death in California,
whittier he had removed with the hope
of benefting his shattered health. Her
years trial with her sick husband in Cali
fornia made inroads on her constitution
and sowed the seeds of disease, from
which she never found complete restora-
ton. November 10, 1878, her marriage
to the Rev w. Ell. Hendrickson, then pas
tor of the Congreg ational church here,
took place. She and her husband removed
from here to Brooklyn, iowa, and resided
for time at Palatka, Florida, finally set
Ting in indianapolis, which continued
their home up to the time of her death.
She was a person endowed with great
beauty of character and sweetness of dis
position and the appreciation of her worth
extends far beyond the limits of her own

A Sirht to Feast the Ewes,

There was sight in Buckskiu Gulch
Yesterday that would have made the
oldest placer miners heart leap with
Joy. The surface gravel had been
washed off, and the large cut in the
Jagged bedrock for over 100 feet was a
mass of giitteriag gold. In places
where it had lodged in the crevices it
could be picked up by the spoonful.
About pint OF nuggets, from $50 to
$50 in weight, were picked up in tho
forenoon by Charles Dudley, and about
twenty pounds of gold had already been
taken to the bank, which had been
scooped out of the potholes. No very
large pieces had been found, the largest
would probably not so over three ounces.
The clean up which will probably take
two or three days yet to make complete,
viii be by far the largest ever made in
the camp. 1t is estimated to reach so
pounds, or in the neighborhood of
$4,000. IL Cgur d'Alene Glahol Sun.

A day-dream, and yet reality, for,
as she raised her eyes. Jack, or else his
ghost, was standing beside her
But it was no ghost who flung his arm
round her neck, and repeated again and
again;
'My darlingl My Jill my treasurer
ooh! Jack, Jack; thought you
would never come!"
$50 did l." he said, solcmnly. 'But
look at me, my dear one; am not tho
same. l."
Then she saw that the right sleeve Of
his coat was hanging empty at his side.
"No, Jack, your are not the same"
she said, catching up her breath, "for
you are mine now, whatever is in store
for either of us. Only forgive mo for
not having trusted you sooner"
''Yet that was we'll, my love, because,
you see, if we had been promised to
each other and had come back to you
like this, why you would have felt
obliged to have me, and-perhaps-
perhaps"
81 should never havo been so worth
less as that, l hope; but doing without
you has taught me to value you now, and
if the lines have been hard"
She was crying on his poor wounded
shoulder.
"Please God, the hard lines are over
for us both; for me they are, at any
rate" he whispered, looking down at
her fondly and proudly, "for the angels
are not all in heaven yet"

Social characteristics in Janan,

DR.. W. J. Holland, naturalist of the
United States Eclipse expedition, now
in Japan, is making some interesting
studies of the social habits and charac-
teristics of the japanese. He finds that
while they arc very deficient in ma
chinery they are wonderfully dexterous
and skillful in handwork of all kinds.
Thus, he says: II do not believe that in
all the United States there is single
individual who could perform the feat
accomplished the other day by wood
carver who took from his pocket little
knife with short wooden handle, and
proceeded to carve on the surface of q
wooden tray, six in ches by eight inches
in size, an elaborate design, which he
completed in the incredible space of five
minutes and eight seconds, timed by a
stop watch. The movement of his fin
gers was as rapid as that of the most
sklllful performer upon the piano, and
his strokes were as unerring and effcc-
tive" The same dexterity character
ICES all their manual operations, COM
pensating in some degree for the lack of
machinery. Thus, in farming, although
there is not g plow in Japan, the soil is
thoroughly titled and the farms are
kept absolutely free of weeds. The
work is all done with hand hoe. All
farm land is made to produce two crops
annually, this result being accom-
plishcd by what we call 'high
farming" that is, the free use of fer
tilizers and thorough tillage In this re-
gard American farmers might learn a
valuable lesson from the japanese. DR..
Holland finds tho people generally in
dustrious, thrifty, economical and tenn
perate, even-tempered, light-hearted,
plain and abstemious in their habits,
cheerful and contcntcd. Wages are very
low, but the cost of living is proper
tionately low, and the japanese lal orcr
manages to make both ends meet with
out worrying himself. ''And l must
say" says DR.. Holland, 'that the jap
anese does his work apparently quite as
well as his American compccr though
his tools are much lIfcrior."
